Push's New ElevenSix Coil Shock Has Hydraulic Bottom Out Control
@SunsPSD: you are right. thats why KTM only uses PDS with a progressive spring on enduros where you need the ground clearence and low speed control from the compression. because they dont hit things as fast and as hard as the MX guys.
the MX guys ride very progressive links with hard springs to get the high speed control and bottom out resistance.

Push's New ElevenSix Coil Shock Has Hydraulic Bottom Out Control
my opinion (working in R+D for a large motorcycle suspension company for several years):
the best for the rider: what ever works best for him. that can be eithor or a mix of both. since every rider feels different and demands different things from their suspension.
since you need to tune something to the riders liking the more you can adjust the more work it will be, but also the closer it can be to perfection.
the easiest to tune:
linear frame rate + adjustable progressive spring (air) + linear tune
the only reason this product exists is to get a certain progressivity into a system which has a linear spring and frame rate.
if you are interested in more details research the KTM PDS system. its the exact same technology

Video: 77designz Develops a Bike Frame
@Giacomo77: I have to say i love the project and all your values look good the only thing i despise is internal cable routing! what chainring size did you design your antisquat around? and how would it do with a 28t in front with a 46-9t cassette at the rear? what are your thoughts on a gearbox design?

Ask Pinkbike: What to Upgrade, Short Steerer Tube
The 1st thing i changed on my Giant was the stem. The giant stem does not allow the steer tube to pass through meaning that mine came with 40mm of spacers between frame and upper crown rising my handlebar too high and making me loose all traction on the front tire.
